Dear,sweet
Mimosa,[1]

Iask you very much to go away for treatment, do not
postpone it. You must not miss the chance. When you
return it will beeasyto arrange a job for you. You
absolutely must go.

TheBeer plan is an excellent one. Try also
to getSchlüteron Chartism (in
German);[3]it appeared after Beer
and corrected that opportunist. A very good booklet could
be written about Beerand Schlüter. Drop me a line in reply.

“PartyCongresses” is also a good subject (in addition
to theminutes, various
booklets[2]are needed, I do not
even approximately remember which ones). If you do write,
send me the draft and we can discuss it.

Iembrace you very fondly.

[1]Mimosawas one of the Party nicknames used by Lenin’s sister
Maria Ulyanova.—Ed.

[2]Lenin’s“Report” on the Stockholm Congress is in my
possession quite by chance, and nothing else.... Too little!—Lenin

[3]Leninrecommended these books to his sister Maria because she
intended writing a book on the British working-class movement.
